RIP Bill. Top bloke, Blue, and a much respected member of this forum.

We as a family would like to say a MASSIVE THANKS to everyone at city, all the fans and the club :)

We are so thankful he got to see the trophies at home, and see the treble.

My dad is at peace now having fought MND all the way! He still had the cheeky smile on his face right to the very end :)

Once again a MASSIVE THANKS to each and everyone of you all, it’s been a huge pleasure to read all of you kind comments.

Really sad news. A genuinely lovely fella and top blue. A sad loss for everyone who knew him. Thoughts with his family.

It's really nice to see some of the "old" posters, who haven't posted on the forum for years, come on and say such lovely words. It's definitely a measure of how much Bill was admired and liked, isn't it.

What a fabulous picture. Bill would have been so thrilled to see those trophies close up. He'd have been in his element.

Gutted to hear this news, Bill was a mainstay on here when I was a newbie to the forum. Always came across as a top bloke to me. RIP Blue

Never met the guy, but feel as though i know him. Sad news indeed, RIP mate, it was good knowing you, even if it was only on bluemoon.

Bill took me and my best mate to some of our first away games as young lads when we couldn’t have otherwise got to them and gave us some great away days.

He also introduced us to several bluemoon members.

Bill treated me and my best mate like we were family on those away days we had with him and was always generous, kind and caring. Great memories- Thank you Bill.

RIP Mate.
